Definizione
The Nazis established the Hitler Youth (Hitler Jugend or HJ) organization in 1926 to teach German boys the beliefs of the Nazi Party and to transform them into a "violently active, dominating, brutal youth." Once they had been indoctrinated, Hitler Youth were highly disciplined and fanatically loyal to Hitler. During the Third Reich, the Hitler Youth became Germany's principal youth organization, and in 1936, it was made a state agency. German boys were expected to enlist from age 14 to 18. Membership in the Hitler Youth became compulsory after 1939. (en-US)
